A Novel Trajectory Tracking Control Method for a Nonholonomic Mobile Robot with System Uncertainties and Disturbances

摘要

This paper focuses on the trajectory tracking problem of mobile robots with system uncertainties and disturbances. With the integration of a kinematic controller and a dynamic controller, a hybrid control method is presented. Firstly, an adaptive kinematic controller is proposed through the kinematic model and back stepping method. Secondly, a neural network dynamic controller is proposed, with the consideration of system uncertainties and disturbances. The stability of the proposed control scheme is verified via the Lyapunov method and Barbalat lemma. Finally, results of circular trajectory simulation have illustrated the effectiveness of the present control scheme.
